    I ticked another diesel. But I will wait until the current 120 series is about to be replaced and get one on the last so that I swap all the add on's over. That way all the bugs will be ironed out and should also be able to get a good deal being a runout model. 8) Until then I am quite happy with my TD, now that I have chipped it 8)

      Pretty sure that baby one is a H3. H2 is the second gen of the BIG ones!

        To me H2 just say "TOOL", H3 dont look to bad, but if I ever went for a hummer I would get an ex militry original, has a bit of caricter about it. Saw one at a 4wd show a few years back for $40k and loved it, though they are a tad wide for Aussie tracks.

        Thought seriesly about upgrading to a 100series, but in the end we could probably aford the car but not all the acceries we already have for the prado, so decided to keep the 90 till it dies.

            I voted for 200 as the kids grow up rather quickly and the Prado
            will be too small for them in no time... However I think 300 series
            should be out by then...

              Have you driven one or experienced it in a 4wd situation? Plus in traffic everyone gives you plenty of room, must be the huge size of it :lol:

                Yes it will be but you will cop a public flogging if you plan on burning oil by that stage. Or you could get the optional eco motor which runs on cow s**t for 3.256 km's per ton which is backed up by 35 square metres of solar panel roofing for a top speed of 86.57km/h as long as you don't hit shade. Then you just wait for the planet to spin a bit more for more sun.

                  I drove a Range Rover Sport Twin Turbo V8 Diesel last week, but up until then I thought the LC200 would be next.

                  Now I just have to pick the correct Lotto numbers!!

                    Eventually it will be a Prado D4D, that is if it ever turns up!

                      On the 4wd action "best 4wd 2008" test they had a H3 and believe it or not they were pleasantly surprised with its performance considering its a bling thing .

                      BTW the H3 is the new smallest one , the H2 is bigger and sells for around $150k , the H1 is the military spec model and massive .

                        I am now on my 3rd Prado and can see no good reson to change to anything else. This (d4d) goes anyware I wish to go. Along with a comfortable ride.

                          I am hoping to turn this one into mine and buy the wife another one. Absolutely love ours and I cant see us buying something else, just wish they would bring it with a petrol 8 in it then I would be as happy as a pig in ####

                              well as much as i love my rig i would up grade to 200 series.. i need it for towing purposes.. i reckon fitted out they would look sweet .. and the sound of the twin turbo v8 is catchy....

                                Probably a Landcruiser in whatever guise is available when this time comes as I to would need it for towing, IMHO it is still the best 4by on the market.......

                                That it unless they stick the V8 D4D into the PRADO :wink:
